### Flavor Flav Opens Up About Wedding Invite from Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
In an exclusive interview on November 22, Flavor Flav shared his thoughts on not receiving an invitation to the upcoming wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Known as the “King Swiftie,” Flav expressed his surprise at being left off the guest list while maintaining that he holds no animosity towards the couple.
During the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix, the 66-year-old rapper expressed his admiration for Swift, 36, indicating that he remains a steadfast fan. “No, I didn’t get an invite to the wedding. I ain’t expect one. You know what I’m saying? The whole nine,” he remarked. However, he added, “But they know they got my blessings and if she invites me, you dig? All right. I’m going. King Swiftie going to be at the wedding.”

Flav’s longstanding admiration for Swift led to his designation as “King Swiftie” among her fans. He fondly recalls first encountering her at the iHeartRadio Awards in March 2023. The two later reconnected at the Grammy Awards in February 2024, where he participated in her Eras Tour, even receiving a shout-out from Swift during one performance. “I’m King Swiftie. I love the Swifties. Mad shout out to the Swifties, baby,” Flav noted.
Less than a month after Swift and Kelce announced their engagement, Flav mentioned his desire to become ordained, humorously speculating on the possibility of officiating their wedding. “And if she does, hopefully if I have my license in time, I want to be the one officiating the wedding,” he expressed during the Black Music Action Coalition Gala on September 18.

In past interviews, Flav has consistently praised Swift, highlighting her significance in the music industry. “I always go hard for Taylor Swift. The Swifties, they know how hard I go in for Taylor Swift,” he stated passionately. He considers Swift to be “one of the most important artists of our time,” showcasing his unwavering support for her work.
